the highest grossing horror movies should be stuff like halloween evil dead 2 etc

I guess Jaws grossed the most money because Americans are dumbasses. (I'm American too!) :)

i didn't know that it was...
i know halloween was the highest grossing independent film made until teenage mutant ninja turtles knocked it out of it's top slot. damn turtles!

jaws is a classic and the way it's ALWAYS on cable and has been released and re-released on vhs/dvd, over time it's possible, i guess...

Its the highest grossing horror because
a its a horror
b it made the most money

it is also a movie that changed the way we think about the sea and sharks. It put spielberg on the map! It is an awesome moster movie with top theme music and genuine jumpy momments!

PS. if a great white and a polar bear where in enough water for shark to swim but ohny up to thr bears waist, so he could wade who would win?

pps. Rat versus tarantular?
(I dont condone animal cruelty its a theoretical question, and a stupid one at that)

You can't have both. A great white is too big to swim in water that only goes up to a polar bear's waist.

I think feral cat is asking why it made the most money because the movie was not really that impressive (not much at all).
